roc6783:ManateeGag: Lando Lincoln: They beat them so badly that Josh Sitton is now on the Giants? Damn. That WAS a bad beat down.

that was the trade off. why do you think the Giants stopped scoring at 38 points? if they stopped the beating, they got Josh Sitton.

I think the entire O-Line was playing for the Giants. That would at least be a reasonable explanation for their suckitude.

The gf started asking 'why is Aaron Rogers always running outside the pocket on every play?' Yeah, that's because his offensive line decided to not show up. We saw a turnstyle, 2 orange traffic cones, a speed bump and a waste paper basket filling in.

Yanks_RSJ:Looks like the Packers went to the 49ers school of revenge. Two "statement" games for the Giants, combined score 64-13. See ya in January.

yeah, let's not count our chickens. Eli was throwing like my grandmother half the time yesterday. the Defense really came up big for the Giants and now we have to hope Bradshaw doesn't cripple himself or teach Hynoski how to be a Fullback.

meh....i'm a big packers fan and come to expect games like this. The O-line is bad but WR's need to get open faster for Rodgers. That or McCarthy change how he calls the game

You're allowed to alter a gameplan after the kickoff? Since when?

It's not that I do not expect these games to happen, it's that I am tired of it. Don't worry, I'm not gonna do what you all think I'm gonna do, which is, you know, FLIP OUT!

I cannot take anything away from McCarthy or Thompson, but they have 2 glaring areas of weakness, McCarthy can't change his gameplan on the fly and Thompson can't draft O-Linemen. One of these needs to change if the Packers are going to sustain success.

Thompson drafted Bulaga who is decent, Sitton who is decent, Lang is pretty good. McCarthy needs to move off the empty backfield set until his lineman can sustain a block longer than .5 seconds.

SkittlesAreYum:lennavan: The Giants beat up on the Packers B-team. All the Packers have to do is get healthy (or at least healthier) and make the playoffs. We'll talk more then.

Here's the problem - the O-line isn't going to get any better. Bulaga and Sherrod are not going to play this year. That leaves what, exactly?

Greg Jennings providing a second target for Aaron Rodgers to throw the ball to in under 0.5 seconds. A better defense reducing the points below 38 and providing better field position. The O-line wasn't exactly marvelous last season and they went 15-1.

The tears of infinite sadness and the floor scrapings from Aaron Rodger's December mustache shaving. The defense will improve slightly, but even with a healthy Jennings (supposedly he is ready to go and was for yesterday too), I have no clue how the Packers are going to beat a defense built like the Giants, consistent pressure from the front four, 2 safeties deep, double teams on the outside. The offense has not beaten a team that can do that well, and they will need to for a Super Bowl win.

Not marvelous, but Rodgers was sacked 36 times total last year and has already been dropped 37 through 11 games this year.

Hey now, McCarthy is capable of making gameplan changes. But only at half time. And only that once.

They had Jennings for the playoff game...and still lost. It's a matter of execution; if you're team can't execute, you're gonna struggle.

Eh, just avoid 'em in the first round and hope they don't get the Falcons before getting to you. You don't have to beat all the teams in the playoffs; you just have to avoid the ones that match up well against you.

The problem is that the only team that the Packers match up well against (looking at the standings as of today) is the Falcons. Yes, they crushed the Bears once, but every Pack-Bears game is a tossup. They have already lost to the Giants, the 49ers, and the Seahawks. Unless the O-Line finds some sort of magic where they can effectively block for an entire game, the playoffs will be short and painful.

IAmRight:Eh, just avoid 'em in the first round and hope they don't get the Falcons before getting to you. You don't have to beat all the teams in the playoffs; you just have to avoid the ones that match up well against you.

True. The Giants probably don't win last year's Super Bowl if they had to play New Orleans in the playoffs.

Pretty much, yeah. TBH I wouldn't be so fearful if the Giants went up against the Bears, Falcons or Packers in the playoffs, even on the road. None of them convince me.

Yeah, I was terrified of the possibility of playing New Orleans in the dome. That didn't go so well in the regular season.
